General CommentBelieve it or not, this song is about gender realignment. Really! When I first found that out, I was amazed, but it really is written from the point of view of a transexual. (Read it and check out the references.) I suspect Decker was widening the issues and using it as a metaphor for the way many of us have to confront our own natures and realise that those round us might struggle to handle the truth. I can't imagine she has any real experience of a sex-change operation (it was a staggering success if so!!)
